From my own experience growing up in a fractured family, good relationships with both family and friends are critical for health, wellbeing and success.

It is a huge challenge for men to keep their sexual integrity in a p*rnified world. Greg’s p*rn addiction cost him his marriage, his house and his children. It’s a heartbreaking story. Ultimately, Greg’s tale of woe is a story of hope, victory and freedom — but at what a price!

Contrary to common beliefs, up to one in three victims of sexual assault and at least one in three victims of family violence and abuse are male.

Our conference on Restoring the Presumption of Innocence was an outstanding success. Messages are pouring in from many of the 200-plus people who sat rapt as our powerful speakers revealed the shocking state of justice facing men in this country.

Earlier this year, another true-blue Aussie hero, Martin Stevenson from PowerPlus NSW, reached out to Dads4Kids. Like Chris Woods, Martin is a courageous man, doing what he can with what he has to raise much-needed funds and awareness for the men and fathers of Australia.

“One small step for man, one giant leap for mankind,” are the immortal words of Neil Armstrong when he stepped onto the moon. Perhaps that is what Chris Woods was thinking when she decided to walk across Australia to help men, and particularly fathers.

Father’s Day is for all the dads you know, so let’s consider broadening the boundaries of Father’s Day to include a few more men who could use an encouraging word. Here are a few men to keep in mind on Father’s Day and questions to help inspire a meaningful message.

This concept of men being sharpened like iron, or improving themselves, is a key component of Dads4Kids' mission to "transform the nation by inspiring fathers to help their children be the best they can be."

"‘Why Can't We Hate Men?’ asks a headline in 'The Washington Post'. A trendy hashtag is #KillAllMen. Books are sold titled ‘I Hate Men’, ‘No Good Men’, and ‘Are Men Necessary’? How did an ideology arise that condemns masculinity as dangerous and destructive?”

During a break in filming Knox Grammar School’s Centenary Tattoo, I googled ‘Virile Agitur’, Knox’s school motto. I almost fell off my camera chair when I discovered it means ‘do the manly thing.’ What a fantastic motto for an all-boys school!

In a national, and probably world first, the Australian state of Victoria has appointed a Parliamentary Secretary for Men's Behaviour Change after the Prime Minister declared a ‘national crisis’ of male violence against women earlier last month.

As a man, I can speak to this deficit of male friendship. Many of us can say hello in passing, talk about the weather, and maybe discuss the latest sports news, but how many of our connections truly care about us and would be there when we need them?

Our forefathers would roll in their graves (and they’d roll their eyes too if they could) if they knew some 21st-century Westerners put ‘toxic’ and ‘masculinity’ in the same sentence. The truth is that healthy masculinity is a marvellous force for good.

The fact is that the data simply doesn't support the narrative being pushed by the left-wing media, bureaucrats and activists: that the problem of intimate partner homicide is getting worse, or that all men are somehow to blame, or that Australia has any kind of toxic male cultural problem.

Masculine men are the very thing we need — now more than ever in the battle of traditionalism versus progressivism. Though the media has attacked the vital value of gender itself, we know they’re wrong. We know male and female is how we’re made.

Equality before the law no longer exists in Australia. The presumption of innocence has been tossed aside – totally discarded by our biased media and undermined by regular legislative tampering with basic principles of justice.

Real manhood is not to be found in the Red Pill, nor is the manosphere’s response to the cancer of feminism the right one. Real manhood is to be found in taking up your cross and following Christ, even if it means following Him to death.

John Eldredge is the most credible voice for men in the world today. He has written 26 books, but his 2001 breakthrough book, "Wild at Heart – Discovering the Secret of a Man's Soul" is still the bestselling book on manhood written in the last three decades.

This year, the team at Dads4Kids gave Paul Withall the 2023 International Men's Day Australian Courage Award for his amazing work on promoting the desperate need to reverse the silent epidemic of male suicide in Australia.

Here are ten reflections on falling short of a desired outcome. More precisely, why we fail despite ourselves or our best intentions.
